NYT: Iran's Supreme Leader Orders Direct Strike on Israel

The alleged order is a response to the assassination of the Hamas leader in Tehran.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered a direct attack on Israel in response to the assassination of the leader of the Palestinian Hamas movement, Ismail Haniya, in Tehran, The New York Times reports, citing officials in the Persian country.

According to the sources, the order was given during an emergency meeting of the Supreme National Security Council held shortly after the news of the assassination of the leader of the Palestinian movement broke.

Ayatollah Khamenei also instructed commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to draw up a defense plan in the event of an attack by the Hebrew country or the US.

Officials in the Persian country indicated that the launching of a drone and missile attack against military targets in the vicinity of Tel Aviv is contemplated, which could be carried out from Iran and from other fronts with allied forces, such as Yemen, Syria and Iraq.

Ismail Haniya was killed on Wednesday in an attack launched against his residence in the Iranian capital, where he arrived to participate in the inauguration of the elected president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, which was held the previous day.

Both Iran and Hamas accuse Israel of his death. Tel Aviv neither confirms nor denies that it is behind the attack that claimed Haniya's life.

Who was Haniya? Haniya, 62, served as prime minister of the Palestinian Authority from 2006 to 2014. From 2014 to 2017, he was the head of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, after which he became chairman of the organization's political bureau, a position he holds to this day.

According to Al Jazeera, Haniya left the Palestinian enclave in 2019 and was living in Qatar. The television channel recalls that, after Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, Tel Aviv promised to end his life and those of other leaders of the organization.

🇦🇺 AUSTRALIAN LACKEY DOESN'T KNOW BASIC HISTORY: Foreign Minister Penny WONG got it WRONG when she referenced the town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights as Israeli.

Awkwardly, only Israel and the U.S. recognize the Golan as Israeli - and now imperialist Penny Wong too. 😂

The United Nations recognizes the region as a part of Syria. During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel occupied the oil rich Golan Heights, which it continues to plunder to this day.

◾Maduro challenged Elon Musk to fight and Musk accepted, even I think Maduro didn't meant a street brawl.

While Elon Musk looks like the hunchback of Notre dame turned backwards, Maduro grew up in a working class neighborhood of Caracas in the 70/80s, attended a public high school and worked as a bus driver in a city with a high crime rate before the power steering was even perfected. I think Maduro must have had his fair share of aggro and could easily give a good spank to Musk, a posh boy who was sent to a boarding school after the local kids gave him a beating.
